Fuck Ricky Gervais
Context: https://www.them.us/story/netflix-continues-its-transphobic-comedy-spree-with-ricky-gervaiss-supernature
people could try actually watching things instead of being fake outraged by them, ricky explains comedy for people like this in the opening 3m of that special.
Most of social media would be a relative desert if fake outrage could just cease to exist.
Sounds like the dream to me.
He has always been an obnoxious bully that punches down
A hateful man
he didn't punch down with his jokes, literally explained the joke multiple times about how he's making fun of the people who have a problem with trans people
honestly that's the most annoying part of Ricky's character...which is what (most) comedians are doing...they're doing bits/playing characters always, explaining the jokes/doing audiance reaction callouts gets old fast
He's always been a hateful bully, he's about as funny as trump.
I hope they both die soon.
Bullshit. Ricky is mocking trans people for years now. You're just too blind to see it.
Oh shit, this is news to me. Wtf Ricky?
If you watch it you may see its not like that article makes it out to be.
His joke about Caitlyn Jenner that people were upset about wasn't anti-trans, it was about how stupid stereotypes are.
Basically the joke is after Bruce became Caitlyn and had that car crash, Ricky says "pbbt women drivers!". Showing that as a society we woukd attach a stereotype to her gender instantly. Regardless of driving experience.
Eh, it's just idiot journalists not actually getting his jokes. Watch the special, it's brilliant.
That guy's a major weiner/stinker.
